Story

Leia is a 4 year old hound mix who loves a good blanket snuggle, a game of tug-o-war, and sniffing her way through the woods. She is high energy and needs plenty of exercise and will thank you with endless kisses and a full body tail wag. She has received some training and listens well to a handful of commands (sit, down, stay, in), and does fairly well with walks (especially when you have treats on hand to help motivate her to listen)- she can get hyper-focused when she finds a trail to sniff. She is reactive to other dogs on leash and will pull and bark. She has a high prey drive, so shouldn't go to a home with cats or other small pets. She has lived in a home with two small children does well with them, but she does jump on visitors due to her excitement and love for humans. We are looking to rehome her because we simply are not able to give her the exercise and space she needs to be her best self- she would be a wonderful, endlessly loving pet for an active, experienced dog owner.

Story

Do you love backyard ZOOMIES ? So does Milo - and he is looking for a forever home This PAL is *Hearing Impaired* so he won’t ever judge you for singing in the shower or a bad joke ‍ Couch cuddles, belly rubs, and butt scratches are Milo’s love language. Despite his hearing, he is the typical dog that enjoys leisurely walks, lounging around, peanut butter, and chasing squirrels. Milo sleeps in his crate every night, hasn’t had any accidents with his foster and - he is a pretty chill guy! Milo would love a home thats as chill as he is, where he can hang with his people and just be loved on. Since he is hearing impaired, a home with large breed dog experience that doesn’t have a ton of action is a best fit Milo Highlights:@5 yo/50 lbs mixed breedCrate TrainedMedium EnergyHousebroken Loves CuddlingGood on LeashNeutered, Vaccinated, Microchipped Milo is a true example of a gals best pal_______________Fostered in Massachusetts- Apply today please remember we are all volunteers, incomplete applications will not be processed If you are interested in adopting a GBP rescue PAL, please submit an application and we will reach out to you within 48 hours to start the approval process. https://galsbestpal.com/adoption/ It’s ok if you don’t know exactly what you are looking for, we are experts in matchmaking and can talk with you and figure out what PAL would be a good fit for your home!

Story

Sweet Little Momma Brie! Brie’s puppies have all found their homes and now its her turn Brie is the perfect medium sized PAL at approx 30 lbs. She was found as a stray by our team when they were visiting Texas and although she was shy, she kept coming up for treats and was a great mom about letting her babies be handled. We really fell in love with her ! Brie would truly enjoy a home with another dog or two. She enjoys spending time with the “pack” and would even be a good doggy daycare candidate! This little lady has a perfect medium energy level. Not too hyper, but also not so lazy that she won’t walk with you. Brie would do best in a home that has patience to let her learn all about this new way of life. We think the city might be too overwhelming for her at this time. In her foster home, Brie is potty trained, crate trained and loves snoozing on cozy beds. *Brie is treated for Heartworm disease and coming to Massachusetts in September Do you have room in your heart to bring Brie home?__________ready for forever in September- Apply today please remember we are all volunteers, incomplete applications will not be processed If you are interested in adopting a GBP rescue PAL, please submit an application and we will reach out to you within 48 hours to start the approval process. https://galsbestpal.com/adoption/ It’s ok if you don’t know exactly what you are looking for, we are experts in matchmaking and can talk with you and figure out what PAL would be a good fit for your home!
